[@souravash]

Since you work online, you can live in northern suburbs or in rural areas beyond Barrackpore or Barasat or Sreerampore, you can cut down on rent, just a thought. By the way, when the metro becomes operational in North kolkata too, rents will increase drastically.

Oh man, I related on so many of the points: tofu, induction oven because phobia of fire, prime subscription, love for exotic fruits (in my case it is figs, strawberries and exotic vegetables too like zuchhini), no meat at home, oats in everything, whole wheat pasta (in my case its durum wheat) and finally we agree on the point that cheese is not worth it, so I turned to nutritonal yeast :P

Kolkata and Chennai are the only two metro city which are cheaper to live overall in general. Rest all cities are expensive.

Yes because Kolkata is hub of international business so dollar comes from other countries to Kolkata ... reducing the price inflation of the city apart from rest of India ...where prices are increasing every six month but in Kolkata prices are almost same from 1 tea cost to apartment rents ...it's like a frozen time machine ....so the city is becoming rich day by day as lots of bengalis live in America London Europe and all over world bringing money from other countries to our beautiful state and city ...Durga Puja is the biggest international festival in whole world after Christmas and ID ....that's the identity we have earned in world by our modern traditional mix culture
